I love thai sweet-chili sauce, it's one of my favourite flavours. So when it comes time to make fresh and delicious salad wraps, there is only one flavour of sauce I want to use.One of the nice things about salad wraps is that you don't feel too over stuffed while you're eating them. They're also great to put out as an appetizer to share before a meal. Of course, I love it as a main course. Ideally served with fresh dumplings on the side!This meal is sweet, savory, fresh and simple to put together. It's a mouthful to say and eat, but it is TASTY!In the recipe below you'll see that I've made my own Thai sweet chili sauce, but if you'd rather skip that step and just buy a bottle from the store that works too! I understand that not everyone keeps fish sauce around their home like I do.Whatever your method, I know you'll just gobble these up! so without further ado...

Happy Friday!
I’m writing a Wine Down! I’m writing a Wine Down! For those keeping track, my last Friday Wine Down post was back at the beginning of August, which is crazy! The autumn was a little nuts between travelling, applying to and starting a new job, and writing my PMP.November was so busy I only put out THREE blog posts. Seriously, I’ve been swamped.Now that I’ve made it to the other side, I have a whole month of content ALREADY written and I can start my weekly updates again (which I’m very excited about). So rather than highlight things from the last week (though there will be some of that!) I want to fill you guys in on the last few months of exciting things around CW&T and in my life. Get ready for all the excitement!
